A 52-year-old client invested $100,000 in a nonqualified annuity that is currently worth $200,000. She
decides to liquidate the annuity and take a distribution. The distribution will be:
-Fully taxable as ordinary income and subject to a penalty
-Fully taxable at long-term capital gains rates
-Partially taxable at ordinary rates and subject to a penalty
-Considered a tax-free return of principal and not subject to taxation - correct answer ✔✔Partially
taxable at ordinary rates and subject to a penalty
Explanation:
Anyone may purchase a nonqualified annuity and make nondeductible contributions (after-tax dollars).
Withdrawals from a nonqualified annuity are taxable as ordinary income (not capital gains) in excess of
the client's cost basis (original investment). The initial investment is considered return of principal and
not subject to taxes. Since the client is less than age 59 1/2, she is also required to pay a 10% tax penalty.
